Yes very easy. Just needed a spudger tool. The screen cover is just glued on.
I do have one of those, I've had to repair/replace a screen on one of my Samsung phones. Sure as hell beat, and was cheaper than, buying a new phone, the screen was destroyed.. and I had bought that S6+ for a $1. Even with a 200 something screen replacement was still cheaper! :D

Mixed some banana nut bread tonight. Several different mixes with different % and some with other flavors added.
I have a pre-made banana bread I like (Mt Baker) I mixed it with my DIY peanut butter banana pudding w/vanilla wafer... it's so good (I only did this because my DIY is 12 mg and the pre-made is 0 mg... I needed some 6mg juice) I am so going to order some BNB for future mixes... have tried TFA (it's OK) but are there any better ones?

I re-wicked both Silverplays (one with cotton, one with rayon) as freaking tight as possible. No leaks (in fact, getting dry hits) So... it means I just have to fine tune the process (tight but not overdone and fluff those wick tails) Thanks to all for the support. It did prove that there are no other issues :thumb:

Does anyone get any liquor taste from the Amarula? I do not.
I don’t taste it in the mix we both did. When I sft’ed it at 1% I tasted a light liqueur like note. My guess is it becomes more pronounced above the 0.5% we used.

A long time ago, I was trying to figure out how to store my RBAs.
I was at the Container Store and was browsing and came across these small clear amac boxes. They fit all my tanks, and they were cheap. Container Store also has acrylic trays, of various sizes, into which these boxes fit happily. Here's an example of my stuff in that stuff. Available online from them.View attachment 948623
Those are pretty cool. They look classy too. I bookmarked the store. Thanks.

    Weird, I didn’t taste any at higher %. Just thinking of what my next mix will be.

    And, I'm impressed how you all keep spelling dwarv, dewarf, dwkarf whatever correctly each time.
    :lol: Lolz. Last September @Katya posted about her delightful conversation with Peter Sarkozi (KHW Mods) the Dvarw designer. She wanted to know its proper pronunciation. Check out the sound file in the link below.

    As an aside, the name Dvarw comes from a character in the PC game World of Warcraft.

    We have a bunch of homegrown tomatoes almost over-ripe... how do you make the "gravy"?
    Slice, flour and fry ripe tomatoes. I put a little bacon grease in the first panfull, but mostly oil. keep going until you have a platter full then dump them all back in the fry pan and still it together add a little milk, salt and pepper and serve on toast.:)

    I'd really like to get the amarula but sheesh...the cost !
    It is a really good flavor Classy. A 10ml bottle will last quite a while. In my current mix I used it at 0.5% along with FA Cappuccino 0.75% and FA Milk 1%. It's a flavorful mix.

    I can't see using it over 0.5% to 0.75% in a mix. And 0.75% might even be too strong in a mix (depending). Amarula is a stronger flavor.

    Next time I mix with it... Amarula 0.5% with FA Tiramisu 0.25% and 1.25% FLV Cream.

    Maybe consider grabbing some FA Milk when you buy Amarula. IMO it's the best milk flavor around. And it works great in coffee mixes.

    I got tools from ifixit in the past when I bought batteries to replace them in each of my daughters iPhones so I didn’t have to buy new phones. My last phone was 150 to replace the screen at one of those phone repair places. It stopped recognizing screen touches after about six months so wasn’t such a great deal.

    I liked the WF one in the recipe Julia Su made.

    I agree 100% on the FA Milk. Good stuff. Now I'm thinking of putting amarula with bourbon. Any ideas come to mind?

    Maybe amarula, bourbon cake??? Maybe those with a nut??? Walnut???

    Or amarula, bourbon and pudding???

    Or perhaps amarula, bourbon ice cream.

    Amarula and a cake, for sure, I think would work well together. I struggle to identify a fruit that might go best with amarula. From my sft notes, I did get an almost pear like note in the amarula. Based on that I am thinking a pear would work well.

    Maybe starfruit. Shortbread cookie.

    Fran, don't read the "sweet" part in that link. Says chocolates, custards, cheesecakes with a cookie crust (or graham I'd imagine) go with Amarula.
